Absolutely not. Your drivers license will be fine. Even though Puerto Rico is not a U.S. State it is a U.S Protectorate and Commonwealth. They have zip codes, U.S. Mail trucks and many of the same institutions that exist on the mainland U.S.

Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens as well. You DO NOT need a passport to travel there.

No. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. You don't need a passport to go there just because you're flying over international waters. You fly over international waters to go to Hawaii, but you don't have to have a passport to go there.

i have family in puerto rico and have visited in the past many times and you did NOT need a passport then just an ID....However cuz of everything going on beginning 2007 you will NEED a passport but you will know this when you visit your travel agent to buy your ticket my friend just came from there and she was able to get in with just an ID but her travel agent told her just that for the next time

No.

Given Puerto Ricoâ€™s relationship to the U.S., traveling to and from Puerto Rico is much like traveling between the 50 states. Therefore, no passport or immunizations are necessary for a U.S. citizen or national traveling to Puerto Rico. However, some form of identification, for example a driverâ€™s license, passport or an original copy of a birth certificate, should be carried to evidence U.S. citizenship or nationality.

Resident aliens residing in the U.S. traveling to the Commonwealth are required to have a valid passport and an appropriate U.S. visa, if required by the U.S. State Department.

NO PASSPORT TO ENTER OR LEAVE BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD AS ID WHEN CHECKING INTO THE AIRLINE

Tired Old Man

being as you have answers both ways,why not ask your travel agent or the airlines and get a correct answer.!!!

No, because Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the US but I'd take it anyway fro identification and also if you wanted to travel by plane or boat to other non U.S. destinations from there.

Happy travels!

NO

People seem to be as confused as you. If I were you I would call a travel agent.

You definitely need a passport because PR is like a colony of the US, and not a state.
